To cook a recipe of Ukrainian cuisine cabbage rolls, grate carrots on a coarse grater and fry in a little oil. Peel the onion, cut into cubes and fry in oil just like carrots. Mince the meat in a meat grinder.
Transfer the fried onions and carrots, minced meat, boiled rice into a deep container, beat in the egg, salt, pepper and mix well.
Cut the stalk from the cabbage and pour boiling water over it. Cover the cabbage with a lid and set aside for 3-5 minutes until the leaves are soft and can be easily separated from the cabbage.
